ANowadays, many kids aren’t interested in a summer camp that involves paddling（划船）canoe or singing campfire so ngs. But that doesn’t mean summer camp is out completely.

He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly.He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. Much to his surprise, the butterfly got a swollen body but very small, weak wings when it came out of the cocoon.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would enlarge and be able to support the body. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body nd small wings. It was never able to fly.The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. The struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was God’s way of forcing fluid（流体）from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved itsfreedom from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been. And we could never fly.25.In the first paragraph the butterfly was _______.A. flying in the forestB. playing with the manC. busy making a cocoon for itselfD. trying to get out of the cocoon26.What would have happened the butterfly without the man’s help?A. The butterfly would come out easilyB. The butterfly could crawl on its wingsC. The butterfly would have got to prepared to flyD. The butterfly would never gain its freedom27.What can we learn from the story?A. Warm-hearted people are always around usB. Struggles are necessary in our life sometimesC. Helping others could make oneself happyD. Where there is a will, there is a way28.What is the best title for the story?A. The struggle for freedomB. A kind manC. The joy of helping a butterflyD. A lucky butterflyCBeijing h as been suffering this year’s most severe smog since Friday, which has forced schools to close and traffic confusion. Thick, choking smog has enveloped the capital for five days, with the air quality index（指标）in many monitoring stations increasing to 500, the highest possible reading. The city government encourages people to stay indoors when the reading is higher than 300.Concentration of PM 2.5 - particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 microns that causes health risks-was 689 at 5 pm on Tuesday in some southern Beijing monitoring stations, down from the peak reading of 945 on Monday.The capital has also seen more road accidents due to the poor visibility, and traffic jam wasaround the city through most of Monday. Many expressways linking Beijing and neighboring cities in Hebei province were closed for hours.The city environmental watchdog sent inspection teams to supervise measures to limit emissions（排放）on Tuesday. Of 545 companies they inspected, 12 had acted against orange alert restrictions, the capital’s environmental protection bureau said.For example, a Dongfeng Nissan factory to pause word on Tuesday. And a construction site at the China University of Political Science and Law left piles of building materials uncovered which could release dust in to the air.All companies and construction sites against the regulations would be severely punished, the bureau said.The smog covering a vast area across northern China has been caused by unfavorable weather, with no wind and high humidity, and an increased of coal in the heating season, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said.29. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________A. the smog is the most severe on FridayB. people use envelopes in the capitalC. people stay at home doing some readingD. the smog has taken place several times in Beijing this winter30.How is paragraph 4 and 5 developed？A. Using examples and dataB. Describing processesC. Making comparisonsD. Analyzing causes31.Where does this text probably come from?A. A sport magazineB. A newspaper reportC. A book reviewD. A museum guideDWhether or not to go university will probably be the biggest educational decision you ever make. After battling with student finance, deciding whether or not to take a year out can be as terrifying as deciding where to move to for the three years.Some students will have planned their year out for months, but, for others, slipped grades may force a gap year （间隔年）, either to retake exams or to apply to different universities. Othersmight just need time to think. Thankfully, for U.K. Students, taking a gap year remains a good option and it can be one of the most productive and fulfilling years of their life.Whether you’ve planned and budgeted for a year abroad, or have made a last-minute decision to delay your first year, the options are endless. Traveling, volunteering and so on are all there for the talking, With so many t hings on offer, it’s important to remember that 12 months won’t be enough time to do all of them, so decide early and work towards making whatever you want to do a reality.Researching a gap year is exciting, and often the place to start is at home. Family and friends can be a great source of inspiration. Your school or college might fully equipped to advise you on what to do when further education is on hold. Don’t underestimate（低估）the power of the Internet, either. Typing a “gap year” into a search engine might seem too obvious, but planning to travel around the world for months on your own is not appropriate.To stay at home or go abroad is likely to be the first question you consider, but in this era of budget flights, doing both is practicable. A European inter-rail ticket（火车票）can be as little as £ 159.For those loving traveling, they must be on the special watchfulness for tricks in the process. Agencies can organize your year abroad for you, and often, it is more effective to make the bookings through the agencies. But flights and other forms of transport within Asia and America are much cheaper when bought in the countries rather than bought in advance.32. According to Paragraph 2, why do other students have to take a gap year?A. Because they are faced with financial problemsB. Because they dislike what they are learningC. Because they haven’t got satisfying gradesD. Because they intend to hang out for a year33.The underline words “on hold” in Paragraph 4 mean “________”A.t aken inB. Put offC. Given upD. Turned put34.What can we learn from the last paragraph h?A. Few students can afford to go abroadB. Traveling around Europe costs nothingC. It’s better to go to Asia and South AmericaD. Travelers should make sure the y aren’t cheated35.The author’s attitude towards a gap year may best described as__________A. SupportiveB. negativeC. DefensiveD. Sensitive第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMy father was poor in expressing his feelings. I knew that my dad loved me, but showed me love in other ways. There w as one particular time in my life when this became real to me.I always believed that my parents had a good marriage, but gr adually the strain（紧张）on my mom and dad’ s relationship was quite evident. Howev er, I was not prepared for the day when Dad had decided to le ave. All that I could think of was that I was going to become a product of a divorced(离婚)family. I kept telling myself that it wasn’t going to happen. T he night before he left, I stayed up in my room for a long time.I prayed(祈祷) and I cried and I wrote along letter to my dad. I told him how much I loved him and tha t I would always and forever be his Krissie. As I folded my not e, I stuck in a picture of me with a saying I had always heard: “ Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy.” Early the next morning, as my dad left our house, I sli pped my letter into one of his bags.Two weeks later, mymother told me that they decided that there were things that b oth of them could and would change and that their marriage w as worth saving. “Well, Dad said that when he read your letter , it made him cry. It meant a lot to him and I have hardly ever seen your dad cry. After he read your letter, he called to ask if he could come over to talk. Whatever you said really made a difference to your dad.”A few days later my dad was back. We never talked about the letter, I guessed that it became a secret between us.1. Why did the author’s father decide to leave?A. Because he was poor in showing his feelings.B. Because his wife was always giving orders.C. Because serious problems occurred（发生）in the marriage.D. Because the strain on father-daughter relationship was evident.2. How did the author feel when her father decided to leave?A. ExcitedB. AnnoyedC. DoubtfulD. Upset3. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means ______.A. a man may have to give up a lot to be a real fatherB. a man may have to give in to his wife to be a daddy.C. a man who raises special children can become a real fathe r.D. a man who develops some special talents can be a real fat her.BIt is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the s ame roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.In these not too long ago times people were connected to thei r food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came une xpectedly, dad would kill the chicken for dinner. Everyone wasinvolved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. Whe n the meal ended, most of the family was involved in cleaning up and washing up. How different is the situation today?The fast life is all around us--- fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holi days. Our fast-paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fo oled into thinking we need, or even must be fast and have wh at the “fast life” gives us. As a result, stress（压力）is leading to many new health problems.The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to address the iss ue of “time poverty” through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a world-wide movement.The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and c onnect with our life. We need connection to people---ourselves, our family, our community, our friends,--- to food, to place (where we live), and to life.By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have know n how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural w orld and rhythms around them. And moreimportantly, they have reconnected---they have lived a new connected lifestyle.4. The writer implies that the family in the past _____.A. shared the similar valueB. lived in small housesC. lacked foodD. were big5. If we are connected to our food, we ____.A. buy our food by ourselvesB. prepare and cook our food by ourselvesC. eat each meal slowlyD. enjoy our mealtimes with other family members6. According to the writer, many people have ____.A. benefited from fast life.B. unwise opinions about fast lifeC. got used to fast lifeD. diseases caused by fast food.7. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To support a world-wide movementB. To support traditional culturesC. To explain the disadvantages of disconnected life.D. To explain the importance of making a connection.CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets(水桶). One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very o ld and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service , but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Th en he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to t he flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It cou ld carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled(溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: be fore it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked（漏出）along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “ See how capable I a m! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowe rs every day! I don’t know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was, “ I know I’m not ver y useful, but I am only do my best. I’m happy that the gardene r still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “ You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they n oticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to t he garden.8. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mea n?A. DirtyB. DarkC. Worn-outD. Plain-looking9. What was the old bucket ashamed of ?A. His pastB. His agingC. His mannerD. His leaking10. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mai nly to _____.A. laugh at the old oneB. take pity on the old oneC. show off its beautiful looksD. praise the gardener’s kindn ess.11. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it was used to keep a balanceB. Because it stayed in its best condition.C. Because it was taken as a treasure.D. Because it had its own function.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, free yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent (重新审视) yourself. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life.Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper. How would you like to create your day? What would you like to paint on it? If you wake up in a negative mind, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your picture will not show hope, happiness and joy.If you take each day to think actively, and have a positive intention (意图；目的)for how you would like to create your day, how would your life be different? What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an “attitude of gratitude (感恩)”.Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way. You can experience each day in the beauty of the world —and the beauty of you who are in it! You find yourself changing from “I can't” to “I can”. With a focus on positive intentions, you feel you are full of power and more like a “winner” than a “loser”.You pay more attention to the present, and will be more likely to live fully in the present eachmoment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don't want to live there! So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day?1．The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. learning is helpful in reinventing ourselvesB. January 1st is the most important dayC. we should make every day a new startD. we needn't change ourselves at all2．If you have daily positive intentions, you will ________.A. have a busy lifeB. get a positive resultC. get gifts from othersD. be a complete loser3．From the passage we can learn that ________.A. positive intentions for each day are of great helpB. think actively and you will be a winner, not a loserC. the present is not where you should live for everD. past regrets or hurts can make you older and wiserBEveryone wants to know the secrets of a long and healthy life. Here are some discoveries from health experts.Many studies looking into the lives of centenarians(百岁老人) look at what they eat. Many people who live into their hundreds live in the Mediterranean (地中海), so their diet, which is high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats like olive oil, gets a lot of attention. The diet has been linked to a healthier older age, lower risk for heart disease, and even protection against memory loss.Education is related to a longer life. A 2012 report from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics found that people with a bachelor’s degree or higher live about nine years longer than people who don’t graduate high school. James Smith, a health economist at the RAND Corporation, is also a supporter of the argument for staying in school for better life expectancy. His findings show education should be an even bigger factor than race and income. Educated people are more likely to land better jobs, plan for their future, and make healthier lifestylechoices.Being a hard worker doesn’t necessarily mean job-stress will harm you. The Longevity （长寿）Study found that plent y of hard workers lived long lives. “Skeptics(怀疑者) may wonder if hard workers really are enjoying life.” the authors write, “We found that productive, hardworking people (even in old age) are not stressed or miserable, but tend to be happier, healthier, and more socially connected than their less productive peers.”Having a strong social group is associated with a longer life. We often turn to friends and family for support, and taking care of the people that matter to us may help us take better care of ourselves, some evidence shows. Some research even suggests that immune(免疫) function is improved when we are around our friends, and that they help with stress management.Research shows that sitting for long period of time put people at risk for shorter lifespans and other health risks. A 2011 study found that each hour people spent sitting down and watching TV after age 25 was linked to 22 minutes from their overall life expectancy.4. The second paragraph mainly tells us that_______.A. Diet matters a lot to a long lifeB. People attach great importance to a long lifeC. Fruits and vegetables benefit healthD. Life styles play a role in health5. According to James Smith, which makes the greatest difference to a long life?A. RaceB. IncomeC. EducationD. Diet6. From the fourth paragraph, we know_____.A. Hard workers suffer from greater stressB. Less productive workers tend to be happier and healthierC. Hard workers are likely to enjoy a longer lifeD. Nobody doubts that hard workers really are enjoying life7. The passage is mainly about ________.A. diet and healthB. some discoveries on healthC. the value of good educationD. the secret of a happy lifeCSri Lanka is known as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”, and it is easy to see why. This little country never fails to please visitors.ArriveThe national airline is Sri Lankan Airlines, which flies from Colombo to London and a couple of other European cities. The country’s main airport is Colombo Bandaranaike, located 29km north of the capital city.Why now?The best time to visit Sri Lanka’s southern beaches is from November to April. So by going early in the season, you’ll get the best weather. Also in November, Deepavali, known as “Diwali” or the “Festival of Lights”, is Sri Lanka’s main religiou s festival, celebrated throughout the country.SeeThere is plenty to see in Sri Lanka. The ancient capital cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura are worth seeing, and so are many outstanding ruins. Other must-sees are the rock fortress (要塞) of Sigiriya, towering over the jungle as far as the eye can see, and Dambulla’s cave temple, the country’s largest and best preserved. Both are UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Sites. Kandy is a picture-like town, which was the last stronghold of the Kandyan Kings. Today it is a cultural relic centre where age-old customs, arts, and crafts remain.DoSri Lanka owns about 1,600km of beautiful palm-shaded beaches as well as warm, pure seas and colorful coral reefs. You can explore the underwater world, and surfing and diving are available too. Away from the shore, wildlife is a big draw for Sri Lanka, and Yala National Park is one of the best places in the word to see wild animals including leopards (豹) and elephants. TasteSri Lanka is celebrated for its excellent food, with a particular emphasis on fresh fruit and vegetables on menus everywhere. Fish and seafood are a big part of the local diet.Did you know?Sri Lanka is known for its tea, but it i s also the world’s largest producer and exporter of cinnamon(肉桂).8. Which of the following is a cultural relic centre of Sri Lanka?A. Anuradhapura.B. Kandy.C. Polonnaruwa.D. Colombo.9. If you want to know something about “Diwali”, you’d better go there in .A. September.B. October.C. November.D. May.10. We learn from the passage that Sri Lanka.A. is in the Pacific OceanB. has only flights to LondonC. is the world’s largest producer of teaD.is famous for its excellent food11. The author wrote the article in order to.A. introduce the picturesque（如画的）landscape of Sri Lanka.B. let readers know what is famous for in Sri Lanka.C. make Sri Lanka well known throughout the world.D. let people get more travel information about Sri Lanka.DIf we are to help students develop reading skills in a foreign language, it is important to understand what is involved in the reading process itself. If we have a clear idea of how “good readers” read, either in their own or a foreign language, this will enable us to decide whether particular reading techniques are likely to help learners or not.In considering the reading process, it is important to distinguish（区别）between two quite separate activities reading for meaning (or “silent reading”) and reading aloud. Reading for meaning is the activity we normally engage in（从事于/参加）when we read books, newspapers, road signs, etc.; It is what you are doing as you read this text. It involves looking at sentences and understanding the message they convey, in other words “making sense” of a written text. It doesn’t normally involve saying the words we read, not even silently inside our heads.Reading aloud is a completely different activity; its purpose is not just to understand a text but to convey the information to someone else. It is not an activity we engage in very often outside the classroom; common examples are reading out parts of a newspaper article to a friend, or reading a notice to other people who can’t see it. Obviously, reading aloud involves looking at a text, understanding it and also saying it. Because our attention is divided between reading and speaking, it is a much more difficult activity than reading silently; we often stumble and make mistakes when reading aloud in our own language, and reading aloud in a foreign language is even more difficult.When we read for meaning, we do not need to read every letter or every word, nor even every word in each sentence. This is because, if the text makes sense, we can guess much of what it says as we read it.12. The passage is mainly about ____________.A. reading skillsB. reading processesC. silent readingD. reading aloud13. The underlined word “stumble” in Paragraph 3 means ____________.A. step over something and fallB. walk with heavy movementsC. repeat something or pause for too long.D. speak in a fluent and confident way14. We can infer from the passage that the author will continue to ____________.A. discuss in detail how to read aloudB. introduce some more reading activitiesC. tell how good readers read in their own languageD. explain why we needn’t say the words when reading for meaning15. We can conclude that ____________.A. reading silently is easier than reading aloudB. to understand a sentence, you have to read all the words in itC. silent reading involves looking at a text and saying the words silently to yourselfD. there’s no difference between reading in one’s own language and in a foreign one第二节阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

AWith my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane, I was searching for an old lady’s missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun(尼姑).I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight. I asked a few times what was wrong, but she didn’t answer at first —she couldn’t hear me. She was wearing a woolen coat. Judging from her accent, she came from Eastern Europe.Do you know what hearing aids cost? Thousands, especially for the new tinyhidden-in-the-ear type she described. It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one, and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right. Therefore, my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid. But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin(机舱)?The lady wasn’t even sure where or when she had lost it. At one point, a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady’s seat; I wasn’t impressed. They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight! My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects, bits of plastic, broken pieces of headphones.The old lady said that she gave up. Yet I couldn’t. After we landed, as passengers streamed past us, I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair. Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor.Look! A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.What a rush. “I found it!”With great astonishment and gratitude, the old lady responded, “I haven’t the words to express my thanks!”1.Why did the author put her hands and knees on the floor?A. She is a religious Buddhist nun.B. She fell down from her seat.C. She helped the old lady look for her hearing aid.D. She wanted to stand out among the passengers.2.Where was the hearing aid found?A. On the previous flight.B. Close to the old lady’s seatC. On the wheelchair.D. In another jet cabin.3.According to the last two parag raphs, what is the old lady’s attitude towards the author?A. RespectfulB. DoubtfulC. SupportiveD. Grateful4.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us a story about kind help.B. To warn us to be more careful.C. To teach us how to find the lost thing.D. To present the love from all people on board.BA new chapter in space exploration has been opened up after NASA confirmed that their mission to bomb the Moon had found “significant quantities” of frozen water. Scientists said the “exciting” findings had gone “beyond expectations” as fully formed ice was found in a crater on the planet. The water was found in one mile high dust that was kicked up by the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite(LCOSS) last month when it crashed into the Cabeus crater near the Moon’s south pole.“Indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit, we found a significant amount,”said Anthony Colaprete, project scientist and principal investigator for the $49 million space mission.“This is a great day for science and exploration,”said Doug Cooke, associate administrator of NASA. “The remarkable results have gone beyond our expectations. It is incredibly exciting.”The identification of water-ice is important for purely scientific reasons, but also because a supply of water on the Moon would be a vital resource for future human exploration. The findings, which completely contradict previous beliefs that the Moon was a dry place, justify the controversial(有争议的)mission. Over the last decade, scientists have found some hints of underground ice on the Moon’s poles, mainly in the form of compounds of hydrogen(氢) but this is the best evidence yet.The discovery is expected to have major implications for the future of lunar exploration, and a ready supply of water could help set up lunar bases or launch missions to Mars. MrColaprete said that it should be possible to purify the water for drinking even though it appeared to be mixed with poisonous methanol(甲醛).5．Which of the following is TRUE of the “bombing”?A. It damaged the Moon surface severely.B. It would do harm to the space environment.C. It confirmed the existence of water on the Moon.D. It would help the research on Mars.6．Why is the finding of water on the Moon so important?A. Because people on the earth use more and more water.B. Because in the future lots of people will live on the Moon.C. Because the water will be a supply for future human exploration in space.D. Because the water is mixed with poisonous methanol.7．How is the whole text developed?A. Providing some facts.B. Following the order of space.C. Making comparisons.D. Analyzing causes.8.Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Water Found on the Moon after NASA “Bombing”B. Unbelievable Space ResearchC. Possible Base on the MoonD. Mysterious Water Found on the MoonCSeveral hundred strangers received “love letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang, a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology, who hoped to show his disappointmentwith job hunting.Yang’s story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country’s wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills, and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions. They are China’s “ant tribe(蚁族)”, a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book Ant Tribe.“They’re so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They’re intelligent and hard-working, yet nameless and underpaid.”The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle —only the strongest survive.A survey in Lian’s another book published this year, Ant Tribe 2, found nearly 30 percent of “ants”are graduates of famous universities—almost three times last year’s percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a master’s degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.An “ant’s”average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.“Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didn’t arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities’employment markets,”Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.The “ant tribe’s”embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang believed.However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.9．Yang’s story is introduced in order to ________.A. analyze graduates’ difficulties in finding jobsB. lead to the topic of the article—”ant tribe”C. tell readers a story about those big citiesD. show a clever way of dealing with pressure10．Why do the “ants” fail to find high-paying jobs ?A. Because they have no diplomas from good universitiesB. Because their majors do not meet the needs of societyC. Because those from rural areas are not treated equallyD. Because they do not have necessary professional skills11．Professor Zhang thought “ants” problems could be solved by ________.A. creating more jobs for graduates in big citiesB. developing smaller cities to attract graduatesC. sending graduates to rural areas and small townsD. training graduates to improve their ability12. By writing this article, the author mainly intends to show ________.A. Despite better education, “ants” are still strugglingB. Despite difficulties, “ants” have a promising futureC. Better education, better job opportunitiesD. Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today’s ChinaDDear Friend,The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.But am I good enough?I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.The promise that paid offThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened.I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.Free test and brochureWe offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.Sincerely,Kristi Holl, InstructorInstitute of Children's Literature13. From the first three paragraphs, we learn that ________.A. children’s books are usually bestsellersB. publishers are making $3 billion each yearC. magazines for teenagers have drawn public attentionD. there is a growing need for writers of children's books14. When finishing the course, you are promised to________.A. be a successful publisherB. become a confident editorC. finish one work for publicationD. be an excellent writer15.

She has been preparing for this Christmas since the end of the last one. Ms Mumford made the huge savings by checking price comparison websites and as a result collected more presents than she needed for Christmas. After sorting out gifts for all of her family, she has even been able to donate £1,000 worth of presents to her local hospital.“It has been so nice to have Christmas sorted and not having to worry about breaking the bank. I wanted to get high quality presents for my family and show that you can do it without spending a fortune. There is a misconception that everyone who does couponing only gets value products but through my careful shopping I have managed to purchase designer perfumes(香水), a high-end coffee machine .”she explained.She said “What started as a hobby to h elp me save money has turned into my life and I am able to run a business helping people save money. I know what it feels like to struggle as my ex-partner had a lot of debt which I took on for him. We were in a poor situation where every penny counted. Th at’s what really inspired me.”She has now turned her bargain-hunting addiction into a business where she searches for the best deals and offer tips to the general public through video blogging and her Facebook Page.“I try and show people that it is jus t a little bit of work in the beginning but it will eventually pay off. One of the best things to do is just to be a bit forward thinking and save throughout the year.”24. How did Emma make the huge savings?A.She compared prices through websites.B.She hunted out bargains in real shops.C.She used coupons and offers worth £2,500.D.She collected more Christmas presents than needed.25. What does “breaking the bank” in the third paragraph mean?A. Buying presents of low quality.B. Spending more money than you have.C. Breaking into the bank.D. Taking out money from the bank.26. What really inspired Emma to help people save money?A. Her addiction to bargain-hunting.B. The financial difficulties she shared with her ex-partner.C. The poor situation people around her were going through.D. Her experience of running an unsuccessful business.27.Which of the following can best describe Emma?A. Ambitious and creative.B. Sensitive and determined.C. Brave and lucky.D. Careful and caring.CI love sleeping. It’s something I’m good at. There’s nothing better than nodding off on the sofa in front of the TV and when my head hits the pillow at night, I have no problem falling into a deep sleep within minutes. There is one place where I never nap (打盹) a nd that’s at work—but new research suggests I should!The idea of you and your colleagues heading off for a lie down in the afternoon may seem strange, but some companies such as Google and Facebook actually encourage it. Because it’s thought that a power-nap makes them more refreshed and more focused, and this in turn makes them more productive.An Australian health writer called Victoria is a founder of a campaign called Nap Now which is trying to make sleeping at work more acceptable. She calls herself a “naptivist”! She says: “I think that our culture is a bit crazy not to accept it… It’s time to end the common work principle which is all about working longer and harder.”So should we all be taking a sleeping bag and pillow to work with us? A few years ago, research by the East of England Development Agency found 30% of people have their best ideas in bed compared to just 11% who have them at their desk. That suggests people are more creative when they are relaxed—and the agency has called for companies to put beds in the workplace.A nap in the afternoon is nothing new. In certain hot countries, such as Spain, a short rest or sleep in the afternoon—called a siesta—is perfectly normal. So maybe we should break from the traditional nine-to-five work cultur e and take up the siesta. The UK’s Sleep Council claims the nine-to-five working day does not fit into the natural sleeping pattern of the human race and says that bosses need to introduce a more sleep-friendly working day.28.

It has promoted economic growth, increased social mobility and given people a lot of fun. But the car has also brought many problems. It pollutes the air, creates traffic jams and kills people. An astonishing 1.24 million people die, and as many as 50 million are hurt, in road accidents each year. Drivers and passengers waste around 90 billion hours in traffic jams each year. In some car-choked cities as much as a third of the petrol used is burned by people looking for a space to park.Fortunately, a new technology promises to make motoring safer, less polluting and less tendency to hold-ups. “Connected cars”—which may eventually develop into driverless cars but for the foreseeable future will still have a human at the wheel—can communicate wirelessly with each other and with traffic-management systems, avoid walkers and other vehicles and find open parking spots.Some parts of the transformation are already in place. Many new cars are already being fitted with equipment that lets them keep their distance and stay in a motorway automatically at a range of speeds. Soon, all new cars in Europe will have to be able to warn the emergency services if their on-board sensors(传感器)discover a crash. Singapore has led the way with using variable tolls(道路通行费)to smooth traffic flows during rush-hours; Britain is pioneering “smart motorways”, whose speed limits vary constantly to achieve a similar effect. Combined, these new inventions could create a much more highly effective system in which cars and their drivers are constantly warned of dangers and showed the ways, traffic always flows at the proper speed and vehicles can travel closer together, yet with less risk of crashing.In the past, more people driving meant more roads, more jams, more death and more pollution. In future, the connected car could offer mankind the pleasures of the road with rather less of the pain.32. According to Paragraph 2, the problem of parking has resulted in ______.A. more time on the roadB. a great waste of fuelC. even heavier traffic jamsD. increased death and injuries33. What does “a similar effect” in the Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Reducing traffic jams.B. Building smart motorways.C. Setting proper speed limits.D. Keeping steady traffic flows.34. What is the author’s attitude towards connected cars?A. Curious.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Disappointed.35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. The Future of Cars: Wireless WheelsB. The Future Traffic Management SystemC. The Benefits and Problems of CarsD.
